| The aim of this study is to characterize the extreme rainfall event on
21–22 July 2012 in Beijing, and its impact on human vulnerability. Based on
the available meteorological and rainfall data from Beijing meteorological
stations and Surface Weather Observation Stations, the study draws hourly
rainfall maps to simulate the rainfall amount and spatial distribution. Using
these maps, this paper provides a quantitative analysis of the impact of the
temporal and spatial characteristics of rainfall on the vulnerability of
three population groups, according to age, gender and total number of
victims. The results of three linear regression models indicate the different
effects of extreme rainfall parameters on victims with different
characteristics. The analysis of victim data in this extreme rainfall event
represents the distribution and characteristics of victims in the eight
affected districts, and concludes that the "vulnerable group" are males and
adults in this extreme rainfall event. This paper is an initial effort to
analyze the impact of an extreme rainfall event on the vulnerability of
populations with different characteristics quantitatively, which can be used
by stakeholders to prioritize the extreme rainfall event impact issues, and
develop contingency plans to address and prevent the human and structural
damages caused by the extreme rainfall events. |
